Integrated
device management
Like all Sharp MFPs, the MX-M503U, MX-M453U and MX-M363U are
easy to configure and support, and multiple devices can be managed
from a single remote location. The result is minimum time and effort for
maximum work efficiency.
Web-based system settings
Administrators can configure important system settings such as address
book control, document filing management, and operator access
control from across the network as well as from the front control panel.
Access control
You can keep control of running costs by restricting who can use the
MFP and for what purpose, giving permission to carry out long print or
copy runs to specific individuals only, for example.
Access and usage rights can be set up for different workgroups and
departments, with further control achieved through the configuration
of up to 1,000* password-protected user accounts with customised
settings.
Remote diagnosis
The MX-M503U, MX-M453U and MX-M363U can be monitored
remotely through a web browser and conditions such as ‘Low Toner’
will appear on the MFP’s web page. In addition, features such as E-Mail
Status and Alert will automatically create and send email alerts when
corrective action or maintenance is required.
Network utility software
Sharp’s Printer Administration Utility (PAU),
supplied as standard,
makes the configuration of printers and MFPs quicker and easier than
ever before. With PAU, you can monitor any SNMP-compliant printer
on the network, without ever leaving your desk and enjoy complete,
real-time control of your printer fleet through any standard web
browser. Error-reporting, technical support, driver installation, printer
configuration: everything is easier and more accessible.
Another network utility,
Sharp Printer Status Monitor
, lets people
check the MFP’s operating status, toner levels, paper supplies and
features before they start a job, as well as displaying an icon on the
desktop when the work has been completed and the documents are
ready for collection.
Device cloning for rapid deployment
It is quick and easy to deploy Sharp MFPs. Simply set up the first one,
copy its settings and then transfer the entire configuration to each
additional machine via a web browser. For extra convenience, you can
edit the settings before transferring them.
Remote operation for easier support
The remote access interface saves time and effort while minimising
downtime by letting your support staff view and operate the MFP’s
control panel without leaving their desks. The support technician simply
opens a web browser and either fixes the problem directly or gives
step-by-step training to the operator to achieve the same result.
